k, this is also said in manual but you just want to pass values to kix, right?

so, just call it like:
(w)kix32.exe myscript.kix $variable="myvalue"

and that's it.



Good afternoon all,

Thanks again for the replies, I'm headed in the right direction.

Using the syntax posted above, I'm able to set the variable that I need with a variable that I provide. The script runs and HOMEDRV gets set. However, when that script exits and returns to my batch file or even a cmd prompt, the %homedrv% variable is set to whatever it was before the script runs. To get the proper %homedrv%, I must exit and open a new cmd window.

The two workarounds that I can think of would be,

1. write %homedrive% to a text file and grab my variable from there to continue with my batch file execution

or

2. Find a way to return $HOMEDRV as a return code which I can use to continue executing the script.


I have tried 1. but I'm afraid my understanding of Kix logic is in it's infant stages and I'm unable to get it to work.

Basically my attempt has been
REDIRECTOUTPUT("c:\temp\HOMEDRV.txt",overwrite) ? $HOMEDRV

But the contents of HOMEDRV.txt are

0
PR10398

Can anyone explain why I'm getting the '0' on the first line or how I can get rid of this? The second line is the information that I need.


Best Regards,

UJS
